Abstract
The Pacific Islands sub-region includes as many independent developing nations as Southeast Asia, but its total population is only about 6.5 million. No single developing country in the sub-region has a population exceeding 4.2 million, whereas in mainland Asia hardly any nation has a smaller population. Less than two per cent of the sub-region?s geographical area is land, and individual islands that form part of a nation may be several hundred kilometres apart. Pacific island nations have a wide range of landforms, resource endowments, land areas, populations and population densities.
